FAQS
Will my Jeep Patriot automatically update for different time zones?
For vehicles with digital navigation screens, turning on the GPS TIME will automatically allow the system to adjust your time depending on your present location. This feature will change your clock when you cross into a different time zone.
Why is the clock on my Jeep Patriot running an hour behind/ahead?
Don’t forget about Daylight Savings Time! If your clock is running an hour behind or ahead, it might be off because of the time change. While some models will automatically adjust, yours may not. If it doesn’t, follow the steps above.
**NOTE: If you are unable to set the Time on the first try, REPEAT the steps. If you are still unsuccessful, contact the dealership for assistance or consult your vehicle user’s manual.
